For the Crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
For the Filling:
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix flour, powdered sugar, and softened butter in a bowl to form a crumbly dough. Press into a greased 9×9-inch baking pan and bake for 15 minutes.
- Make the Filling: In a saucepan over low heat, melt sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and salt. Pour over the baked crust.
- Complete the Bars: Sprinkle chopped pecans on top, drizzle with caramel sauce, and bake for 15–18 minutes. Cool, then slice into bars and drizzle with more caramel.
Notes
- You can toast the pecans for enhanced flavor.
- Consider using store-bought chocolate ganache as a quicker alternative to melting chocolate chips.
